Jahi by

## Jahi

The jahi is an evil spirit of unfulfilled desires that appears as a  
ghostly image of a serpentine, scaled worm with three elongated  
faces. Nearly invisible, it is normally found wrapped around the throat  
or chest of a creature it has selected to be its "chosen one."

A jahi seduces the ambitious and downtrodden alike, promising    
fame, fortune, and celebrity. Once it has a 
chosen one, the monster  
begins to accumulate a group of followers,
who form the nucleus of a  
debauched cult of personality that is ultimately 
turned to 
the jahi's  
worship. The creature feeds off the adoration of these followers,  
all the while encouraging them to greater heights of excess.

***Incorporeal Nature.*** The jahi doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

___
> ### Actions
>
> ***Ego Drain.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. *Hit:* 5 (2d4) psychic damage, the jahi regains hit points equal to the psychic damage dealt, and the target's Charisma score is reduced by 1d4. A creature whose Charisma is reduced to 0 falls unconscious until it regains at least 1 point of Charisma, unless it is charmed by the jahi.  
The reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest.
>
> ***Ego Investiture.*** The jahi initiates a Charisma contest with an unconscious humanoid within 60 feet of it. If it wins the contest, the target becomes charmed by the jahi, and obeys the jahi's telepathic com-mands to the best of its ability. The target also uses the jahi's Charisma modifier and Deception and Persuasion skill proficiencies in place of its own. 
>
> This charmed condition lasts until the jahi ends it as a bonus action, the target is on a different plane of existence from the jahi, or the jahi is forced to abandon the target by an effect like the *dispel evil and good* spell. The jahi can have only one target charmed in this way at a time.
